hi krafter
i tried to go into sd but there isnt any wads or preloader files on there
i went into sd on wii menu and now its saying error 004, i just dont know whats wrong now as im not to good with the tach jargon.

ok ive got the wads all installed but now when i go to download priiloader through apps manager it says:
es-identity failed, error 4294966279. iso36 not patched with es_diverify?
using cios (Holding b and then pressing + or - ) will probably solve this.
note: you need cios for this
do you wish to continue?
a=yes b= no sart = exit

when i try anything here it goes to a black screen with fussy white on it and then lets me do nothing.
what do i do next please

I finally installed all the WADs correctly. When I go to install priiloader, I don't see the options block online updates or block disc updates. It simply just installs and then takes me back to the homebrew channel. Did I do something wrong, or is this ok?

I had same problem but figured the way to fix it!!! I rebooted the wii (hold down power button for 6 sec then turn it back on) and reinstalled bootmii as IOS then exited to HBC and launch BootMii. I think that's how I did it but it worked for me. Cheers

How did you reintsall bootmii and then go into your wads? From what I understand I have intiate the hackmii installer again using smash stack but that'll take me all the back to the first step again? So you want me to go through Step 1 to install HBC and all that, then do it again so I can reinstall bootmii and install wads?

If it's relevant, when I go to do my nand backup I get bad blocks at 1225 and 2243.

I really want to hack so I just use my wii as a dvd player more than anything else. Is my wii even compatible?-- I've been reading that some of the newer wiis may not work and mine was purchased I think about a year ago.

Sounds like you are loading from HBC and not from MMM, as directed. It should still be okay if you do what the Priiloader message instructs...while holding down the B button, press either the A button or the + button.
